January 19, 2021: Léon: The Professional (Epilogue)

Hey, look! An elephant in the room! We should address that, huh?

So, recently, actress and Léon star herself Natalie Portman was interviewed about acting in this movie, and she said that the movie itself was fine to act in. It was the response to that work from...y’know what, perverts - let’s not dance around that - that she wasn’t the biggest fan of. It changed the roles she was willing to accept, and her acting style in general. Which makes absolute sense for her to do.

But now, you may understand why this film is...awkward. Because let me clarify something: this is a good movie! But, especially with relatively recent revelations from Hollywood in the last few years, you know that some people enjoyed this movie in a WHOLLY UNACCEPTABLE fashion. Which is...well, again:

Because of that, this film was gotten a lot of negative attention, then and now. And, let’s also be fair here: I’m not a fan of the fact that Luc Besson put Natalie Portman in this...uncomfortable position in the first place. It’s a little squicky to be putting a 12 year-old in that context, is what I’m saying. Roger Ebert agrees, in the closing statement of his review on the movie:

But always at the back of my mind was the troubled thought that there was something wrong about placing a 12-year-old character in the middle of this action. In a more serious movie, or even in a human comedy like Cassavetes' "Gloria," the child might not have been out of place. But in what is essentially an exercise - a slick urban thriller - it seems to exploit the youth of the girl without really dealing with it.

.Yeah, I agree with that. But OK, if we take that uncomfortable aspect away from the movie (and it is possible to do so), then what did I think? Well, let’s get into that, shall we?

Recap

Cast and Acting

Strap in, this one’s gonna be long. Three parts, and a coda at the end.

OK, first I gotta talk about Léon, or rather Jean Reno as Léon. Here's the thing about these heroic bloodshed protagonists; they’re always these cold, reserved badasses with armored hearts that have been closed off by a personal tragedy, from when they were more innocent. But with Léon, we never see that tragedy; we have no idea what makes this man who or what he is. And yet, he still has dimension as a character, hidden depths within an unknown past, and also a surprising innocence injected into him. He genuinely enjoys going to see old movies, he’s teaching himself how to read, we only really see him drink milk, he cares deeply for his plant. And, before Mathilda, he’s lonely, and you actually feel for him? THis is, by the way, despite the fact that the first sequence of the film is him MURDERING A BUNCH OF PEOPLE. And despite that, I really did feel for him in the end there. And while the directing and writing take a part of this, GODDAMN does Reno do an amazing job! He perfectly portrays the nuances of this character, but puts on an incredibly badass demeanor when he needs to. Reno deserves more credit as an actor in the USA, because he’s astonishingly great in his movie, seriously.

And then...then there’s Natalie Portman. See, back in the wild, wild west of the ‘90s, child actors were ALL OVER THE GODDAMN PLACE. And the vast majority of them weren’t very good, let’s be honest. But in her turn as Mathilda, awkward preteen crush and all, Portman KNOCKS it out of the goddamn park with this portrayal. And by the way...THIS IS HER FIRST ACTING ROLE. Yeah. Holy shit. She’s brilliant, and I’m a little mad that she didn’t get an award nod AT ALL for this role. She’s fantastic, seriously, it’s insane. And yeah, her character and the dynamic with Léon definitely makes me uncomfortable...but maybe it’s because Mathilda is surprisingly believable, acting with a surprise innocence of her own. Seriously...amazing job to Nathalie Portman.

If Reno was understatedly nuanced and complex, and Portman was talented and emotional, Gary Oldman was BATSHIT INSANE. And holy shit, is he a wonderfully engaging and terrifying villain. This is Oldman dialed up to...eh, 8? You get him dialed up to 10, and I’m pretty sure you get Dracula. But he’s a HELL of a lot of fun here, honestly, if also extremely creepy and frightening. He steals every scene that he’s in, with his speeches, mannerisms, and affectations. He upstages, well...EEEEVERRRYYYYYOOOOOOONNNNNE!!!

And is everybody else in here good? Yeah, they are, but they’re completely drowned out by these three. The acting in this film is wonderful all around. 10/10. I mean that, 10/10.

Plot and Writing

If I had a single word about the writing, it’d be...French. There are some lines, ESPECIALLY Mathilda’s lines about love, that definitely sound more French than American. After all, this is a French film, and the writer is Luc Besson himself! And other than that...the writing’s fine. Plot’s fine, too, straightforward and all that. I really don’t have much to say about the plot, if I’m honest. And if I had one negative thing to say...yeah, the childhood crush thing is still super uncomfortable, honestly. Still, put in context, it’s a little bit better. And I should mention that, while it’s SUPER CONTROVERSIAL here in the good old US of A, this wasn’t nearly as big of a deal in France. And I should also mention...it’s mildly autobiographical. Yeaaaaaaaah, that blonde girl in the very beginning of the movie is actually Besson’s WIFE. You know...the 17-year-old, who’d known Besson since she was 12 and he was 29, and they started dating when she was 15, and the had a child a year later, before this movie was made. Y-yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

 7/10 here, nothing bad, nothing great. Basically average heroic bloodshed plotline, with some...other elements.

Directing and Action

Fun fact: Luc Besson’s reception in his home country is mixed, especially early in his career. This is because his directing style is focused far more on spectacle and bombast than it is on emotion. Definitely more American in style than French. And this movie definitely has some of that, although it’s definitely not as crazy as some of the other movies on this list. But some of the shots here are weird, some of them here are crazy cool, and most of them are just great. But this movie still focuses more on emotion and character buildup and revelations, than it does on action. Which is great, but this is Action January, so how was the action? This takes off of the gun-fu genre, with essentially all of it focused around gunplay. And the interesting thing is, while these aren’t the most bombastic action scenes, its the emotion around them that keep you on the edge of your seat and invested. So, weirdly, this might be the movie that’s integrated the action scenes with the movie’s overall emotional tone the most seamlessly. Well...of the English language movies, anyway. Overall, 8/10 here!

Production and Art Design

START SPREADING THE NEEEEEEEEEEWS, because it’s New York, New York! Most of this film was filmed on location, and it shows! As someone who grew up going to NYC on a regular basis, it definitely feels authentic to ‘90s New York. Which, of course, it is. Costume design, for Mathilda especially, is good, although one or two of her outfits feels a little over-complicated at times. Still, no complaints, really. I love Léon’s tiny glasses, and Stansfield’s suit (plain as it may be). Really, this movie is simply an authentic feeling New York, and there isn’t too much else to say about that. 8/10 again. 

Music and Editing

Music’s definitely good, including this song by Sting that we hear at the end. Editing is mostly OK, although there are some weird cuts here and there. And...I’m not sure I have much to say about this category. Oof. Sorry, honestly, this is probably a sign of good editing, since it wasn’t obvious. And as for the music, I remember it...but it was mostly overshadowed by the events of the film itself. So...7/10?

80%! And I’m satisfied with that, honestly!

This movie is built to make you a little uncomfortable while watching it. But, I still believe that it’s a movie to be watched. Good action, prominent emotional development, great acting. This one’s good, and give it a watch! 

Luc Besson, Luc Besson. You gave me a French English-language heroic bloodshed action movie about an older man saving a girl a generation or so younger than him, that also produced a well-known meme on the internet. More, please!

Public School Stuff I Wanted to Share

public school is both beautiful and horrifying am i right

so ill just go by the grades i guess

Kindergarten, first year

i did kindergartden at a catholic school in a relativly big city so this one’s got some shit

we went to church every wednesday, me and best friend (lost track of her when we moved, wish we’d stayed in touch, she was awesome) would giggle the whole time, pretty sure we made fun of jesus once, can’t remember why, possibly the hair

i had the nicest teacher, she was (as i remember her) young, blonde, and super sweet, that was the first and last year i ever had naptime

SPEAKING of naptime

i never slept during it

once i found what i remember being a nut of some sort on the ground, probably came off someone’s shoe

i grab it, turn to sarah (my best friend), say something about putting it up my nose

sarah, apparently having common sense, says, “no dont do it!! we’re supposed to be sleeping!!”

i put it up my fucking nose

try to get it out, just push it farther in

im crying a little bit now, that shit hurts

go up to my teacher

“you’re supposed to be asleep!”

“i have a nut up my nose and it wont come out”

teacher tries to get it out, but it wont budge

just. sends me back to my mat

that was it

the art room was tiny

like re-purposed broom closet tiny

there was a copy of the mona lisa in the hallway, someone had drawn ray bans on it with a pencil, never got replaced

there was a creepy-ass basement i went down to after school, we ate cheeseballs and sandwiches with some kind of meat, mayo, and that kinda yellow bread

someone broke his leg down there once, think an older kid threw him at the ceiling or something

we learned how to play Silver Bells with actual bells in music class

Kindergarten, second year

i remember these two teachers as the evil step sister-type look, but it might be my little kid imagination

but seriously they were horrible

we learned stuff in a room that was more middle-school styled, except everything was green or black and it was v dark

me and sarah attained a new friend, john

honestly i think we would’ve stayed friends for a while if i didnt move away

i have two vivid memories

one is of me really wanting to go home, so i walked by the teacher’s desk and did a fake sneeze

they laughed at me and told me to go sit back down

the other is  john leaning his chair back and then falling, so me and sarah went to help him back up

it was funny, so he did it again

and again

me and sarah were laughing, had the time of our lives

after the maybe fifth time the teachers said “john can get back up by himself. sit down and stay there.”

one of the reasons we moved was bc i got sent a letter from my fourth grade buddie

most of the words weren’t spelled correctly, many letters were backwards

my mother was horrified

ofc now we know it was probably a learning disability 

1st grade

this is when i moved

beginning of school i was ASTOUNDED we didnt have uniforms, one of the best things ever to happen to me

nothing wrong with this teacher, she was cool

thing is i was a little shit

told everyone my dogs died (they did but i was maybe three when it happened, i remember it not)

all my personal narratives were bullshit (only one sticks in my memory, wrote it about celebrating christmas AND hanukkah with my dad’s friends who were jewish, i have never even met those friends)

had a crush on this kid, best friend (she was terrible and helped wreck me emotionally) told me to kiss him in music class. me being a stupid ass bitch, i did it, aND HE GOES TO THE TEACHER AND CALLS ME OUT. at the end of class she gets both of us to stay for a bit, AND I DENYIED EVERYTHING. i walked across the fucking classroom, kissed him on the cheek, ran away giggling, told my teacher i didn’t do anything, AND GOT AWAY WITH IT. i’ve embarrassed myself further with this child but thats another story

2nd grade

i loved this teacher but honestly he was absolute shit

like. all he did was play the guitar and sing with us

never actually taught us stuff???

middle of the year, my mom goes in for a parent-teacher conference, he tells her i dont pay attention is math.

“what do you mean?”

“she doesn’t listen, she just takes out a book and starts reading.”

“........have you.... tried taking the book away?”

“sure, i could try that.”

“o....kay”

he also told her i’d be a girl who’d grow up to love spellcheck (which i do lmao)

like ???? why not just??? teach me to spell????

there was this one dude who one day showed up, gave me a pink stuffed cat, and then asked me where i lived

funniest thing was he lived on the same street as me

something that is vivid in my memory is showing up to class one day and realizing that i was wearing my regular clothes over my pajamas

also we had fish

every day someone else was in charge of feeding them

one of the times it was my job, i grab the fish food and walk over to the tank only to find all of the fish floating on the top

i screamed “THE FISH CAN FLY?!?!?!?!?!”

everyone ran over, all of us scarred for life when Mr. G walks over and goes in the most normal voice ever “no theyre dead”

we held a funeral

the cause of death is still undetermined

3rd grade

this year just draws a blank for me

all i know is that whoever the teacher was, they neglected to teach me how to tell time from a clock

also we learned the Cotten Eyed Joe dance in gym around here

4th grade

i had two teachers this year

one was the same one from 1st grade, the other one was a total bitch

made a girl named hannah ball her eyes out once, never apologized

i was (and am) and avid reader, so my reading skills were high above average

instead of being proud of me she told me i was weird, not normal, and too smart for a 4th grader, so i MUST be cheating. 

she was the start of a lot of self confidence issues for me ngl

this was around the time i went and got tested for ADHD (me and my grandmother almost broke down on the highway but thats another story), Mrs. M (the nice one) was super supportive when i told her why i was leaving early but Ms. S (bitch) told me ADHD wasn’t real and i just wanted to be special for once

she sucked, Ms. S

5th grade

this is getting super long so this’ll be the last one i do

but my teacher..... Mr. F was A+++++

he legitimately taught me math

we had i guess like,,, a buddie class we switched with sometimes

the teacher of that class was Mrs. R, who had crazy red hair and many freckles

at one point she referenced a meme and my entire class started screaming

also there was another Mrs. S (to differentiate this one will be called Mrs. Su)

she was kind of crazy

she was the astronomy teacher and she told us many times that the moon landing was faked

once she handed out sunscreen and had everyone put it on their whole body (this was in december, fyi)

Mr. F also hosted an ‘archeological dig’ which sounds cool but in reality he had a bunch of arcade prizes from his childhood buried in little flower pots we dug into with plastic spoons

also heres some stuff i cants pinpoint the time of/happened in multiple grades:

someone held a who-can-scream-the-most-like-a-goat contest

a guy named Makenzie won

remember we planned it while the teacher left the classroom so the teacher walks back in and one by one everyone in the room starts screaming, there was some applause, a few kids got a standing ovation

we cleaned out our desks in the middle of the year, i found 3 socks and a dog treat in mine

like how the fuck did any of those things get there

and where’s the fourth sock

b o t t l e f l i p p i n g

but no seriously there were at least five water bottles stuck in the ceiling in the cafeteria

my sorta friend charlie was obsessed with paper airplanes

one time he might’ve broken the world record for longest time in the air but he was counting in his head and it was at recess so there was no video

four square and gaga ball would be played no matter the setting, time, or conditions and it was super competitive

like if you could get to king in four square you got the everlasting respect of everyone

and everyone was super educated on four square special rules, special plays, that kinda shit

no but guys i grew up with bus stop, candy store, haunted house on mondays, haunted mansion on fridays, zombies was fair game unless it was Zach, Ryan, Chrissy or Vee

me and one other guy named andrew were the only known pjo fans, had the time of our LIVES making refrences

“HEY ANDREW IM NOBODY”

“I HAVE WAITED YEARS FOR YOU, NOBODY, COME HERE AND FACE YOUR DEATH”

“hey annabeth, i thought you looked like a princess when i first saw you. i printed out a picture you sent me casually and kept it with me. i snuck along on a quest so i could save you, endangering myself immensely. i held the sky for you. when you talk about your crush on luke, i get jealous. beckendorf understood, but hes dead.”

“ikr we’re literally the best of friends”

“RIGHT”  

also the first time we finished mark of athena we were in the same classroom and we individually dropped the book, stood up, looked at each other, and screamed “WELL FUCK YOU TOO RICK RIORDAN”

[moons-and-stars-and-shit]

Hii! May i ask for a slice of cake? (If you can ofc)

So im a INFP-T virgo im also 4"11 i have dark brown hair it because wayy lighter near the sun. Also dark brown eyes my hair is cut kinda like a shag like the front is cut but the back isn't (bc of my parents) my style is grunge ig? Im very inlove with fairy style Smm but because im broke i cant really fulfil my love for that style (also probably because of my parents). My body is???? Okay my boobies are medium size and no unfortunately I don't have a fat ass 😕 im not chubby but at the same time im not skinny. Like the most fat goes to my tummy I get rolls when I sit down bath blah you get my point (im pretty insecure about it lolol). One of my two main dreams is to study abroad and become an interior decorator.

I dont know how to describe my personality but I will try. My best friend always tells me that my sense of humour is downhill BAD. I would laugh at the dumbest shit ever for example i laughed one of those pixilated bugs pics with random names on the bottom 💀 also I laugh at my own trauma and stuff that shouldn't be laughed at. I kinda have anger issues 😕 I get unmotivated pretty easily. I rant to my best friend alot and she says that im ✨depressed✨ and have ✨anxiety✨ and that i need therapy. Im scared to rant to my parents because im "too young and its just my hormones". Something that I found out about myself this year is i have chill tics 😦 (from anxiety). Outside im nice and sweet but on the inside my mind is just saying other things. Im SOMETIMES cold and say what's on my mind but thats to my close ones like my mom dad or friends.

Romantic Matchup

Oikawa Tooru

How yall met

Ok im ngl

Y'all had know clue who each other were

Well that's a lie

Of course you knew who Oikawa was

But you just didn't care

Now Oikawa always saw you around school

You know...in the school uniform

But one day

He saw you outside of school in all of your grunge glory

And apart of him was like bitch wtf

And the other was like ok queen i see you 😗

So he approached you and complimented your outfit

And you said thanks and then ran off to wherever you were heading

Wait

You just said thanks???

No fan girling????

Not even a blush??????

Nothing????????????

OIKAWA.EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING

Ok he would understand that reaction if you were just a stranger on the street

But you went to school with him?

So you had to know who he was right?

Yeah my mans had a whole ass crisis because you didn't have a bigger reaction

The next day he went to Iwa and told him about his interaction with you

And he was just like not everyone was to like you ya know

Oikawa: >:o

Then Iwa had a brilliant idea

Get this

Maybe

Oikawa should BEFRIEND you before expecting you to want to talk to him

Wild theory I know

So now Oikawa had a new goal

Befriending you

It actually wasn't that hard since you both had a lot of classes together

Soon enough you guys became close friends

And oikawa was happy with just being your friend

At least...he thought he was

But everything changed when you told him you were going to study abroad for 3 months

And even though you had each others numbers

Everything without you just seemed so dull

Omg

Did he really have feelings for you?

The more time that passed by the more he was sure that he liked you

Like LIKED liked you

So the day you came back to Japan is when he confessed to you

And well you'd be lying if you said you hadn't caught feelings for him too

So you said yes

What they love about you

He loves how normal you treat him

Now hell admit when he first met you he kinda wanted you to treat him like a celebrity

Expected it even

But the more time he spent around you

The more he realized how much he liked being treated normally

Ok screw what your friend says

He loves your humor!

Yall will laugh at the dumbest shit

If we were to look at you and Oikawa's messages

85% of it would be dumb ass memes

And honestly

This boy makes jokes about his trauma too

“Hey Y/N you wanna hear a joke?”

“Sure”

“My existence”

“...”

“...”

“Ayyyyy”

“Ayyyyy”

He loves how easy it is to talk to you

Like he's told you things he hasn't even told Iwa before

And Iwa is his CHILDHOOD BESTIE

So yeah

Trust between you two

ASTRONOMICAL

What you love about them

You love how supportive he is

If you say you wanna do something

He is right behind you cheering you on

You could tell him you want to commit arson

And he'd just be like

Period queen ill bring the gasoline 💅

You can always count on this man to be in your corner

Speaking of

You can always count on oikawa period

Which is another thing that you love about him

If oikawa is anything

He is a man of his word

If he says hes gonna do something

You know he's gonna do it

He's just overall a really reliable person

You love how he just seems to motivate you to do better

Fr after you guys started dating your grades went

Partly because you felt like you needed to compete with him

But mostly because he just motivates and pushes you to do better

And if you do improve on something

He is HYPING you up

“That's my baby! I knew you could do it!”

Favorite things to do together

Yall love to just go to the store and window shop

Im sorry but yall are some broke hoes

So most of the time it's just you guys trying on clothes in the dressing room

Taking pictures of your outfits

Then leaving

Yeah the store employees kinda hate you…

But who cares what they think

And if you two do have some pocket cash you'll buy one or two things

Then blow the rest of your money on that good mall food

Cause why not

Random Hc

He makes fun of your guys height difference ALL THE TIME

But like, can you blame him????

You're not even 5 feet tall!!!

“Imagine being the size of a 10 year old, couldn't be me”

Imagine being taller than the national average height 😐, couldn't be me”

“Touche”

He let you dress him up as an E-Boy ONCE

Ngl tho he dug the eyeliner look 😗

He called you every day while you were studying abroad

He even sent you a oikawa plushie

You may or may not have sent him a video of you drowning it

When you came back to Japan he legit TACKLED you in the middle of the airport

Astrology

Virgo + Cancer

Compatibility 80%

Cancer and Virgo can have a wonderful connection and are usually brought together by sexual understanding.

The main problem of their relationship is in the possible conflict between emotional Cancer and reasonable Virgo.

If they manage to overcome this, accepting each other’s shortcomings and learning to incorporate some rationality or some emotion into their lives, they could end up in an inspiring relationship that will last for a very long time.

In a way, they complement each other as much as the heart complements the mind.

If they share a spark of love, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity for happiness just because of someone’s irrational expectations or someone’s closed heart.

If someone can help Virgo build their trust, it is their Cancer partner.

Although Cancer is a cardinal sign, they are stable by nature, especially when it comes to emotional decisions they have made.

If they have chosen Virgo to be their loving partner, they will have no reason to lie or cheat.

This behavior would only endanger their vision of a shared life and a loving family they want with the partner they chose.

This is also a reason why Cancer won’t have an initial problem with trusting Virgo.

Their convictions are stronger than their doubt.

Dreaming Big

anime Lee Minho x reader

Type: Oneshot; and i don’t know really.

Words: 1.5k

You could never be what you wanted.

It’d been forever. From your childhood to what people called teenage years, through your puberty and to your disturbing adolescent years, you’ve screen-flashed many many possibilities of what you could be and what you wanted to be. But, they were all so momentary, as fugacious as your menstruation mood swings. So they were rarely constant for even a few months.

They said, dream big. But you’d been the pragmatist you were and come to a realistic conclusion that dreaming big, was only the pre-stage of adulthood disappointment. Dreaming big, as sugar-coatedly it was presented to the expectant children, it was an utter lie. Dreaming big, for others it could be achieving their resolute goals, or getting that one reverent medal, or discovering what could be the next futuristic wonder, or even as less as gaining hundreds of followers.

For you though, dreaming big, was as less as a grain of salt. Throughout your 13 year old phase, you’d wanted to be that one pococurante kid who got so much unwanted attention that it was unbearable for themselves. You wanted to be like the internet e-girls, tepid yet absolutely voguish. But this all changed to a completely different angle when you turned 15. Then, all you wanted to do was having a group of enthusiastic and whimsical friends who’d accompany you through your late-night drunk stage and appreciate your meme tastes, or even be a classified rantipole.

 And after that, at the approximate end of your juvenile years, you’d wanted to be that one lad who could actually open a packet of chips with a single try, or the friend who was downright energetic. It might be much contradictory to dreaming big, but that’s one quality that fascinated you as you sluggishly dragged your feet in the convenience store. Dropping your instant noodles on the counter with your stomach screaming at you for a filler.

The receptionist gave you a unique glare, looking at your droopy eyes and swollen lips as she again eyed your single purchase of cheap ramen. You only stared at her with indifference, your stomach shucking you as it produced a careless growl, making the woman in front of you get even more disgusted. Nonetheless, you could care shit ton less. You plodded along to your shared apartment, slumping on the living room couch as soon as you entered. With your flimsy strength and screaming stomach.

No, you still weren’t what you wanted to be. You weren’t that one robust, levelheaded and intelligent friend. You were the exact opposite of it. With average IQ, average looks, average everything, you weren’t really the most desirable human being either. And you totally weren’t desirable to people who’d seen you at your average. Because you, were the lackadaisical shenanigan, who struggled to maintain their sobriety. And no, you weren’t alcoholic, you just had a case of sleepy madness.

So it was a threat when you’d get drowsy. Or hungry.

And you were in that state for most times you could remember, ironically. So in a words demonstration, you were threatening.

You were with your two long-living besties. Boredom and food. Living with you in your natural habitat. Watching yet another episode of your favorite manga-turned- into -anime series and leisurely munching onto a stray piece of potato chips with the almost empty packet barely hanging off your left hand. There were no sound other than the aggressive voices from the tv and the lazy munching sounds that came from you.

Although you enjoyed these moments where you could do nothing and be internally satisfied with your rather pathetic situation. You have hoped, longer than intended, that someone would make your life a bit more interesting. It was the same routine every day, and it was hopelessly tedious.

And that again, was your another dreaming big.

Just as you were about to take another bite of your salty chips, the doorbell rang. But you continued eating. Because you were so sure that it was not your doorbell, because yours never blinged. And perhaps you didn’t even know how it actually sounded. In this modern curse of technological services, anyone would just text you to open the door. Or could innocently hack into your code and relax themselves a little too comfortably in the mess you called home.

The doorbell rang another time. And by then, you were getting annoyed by the fact that none of the lazy bums from your neighboring house were getting up and opening the godforsaken door. After a precise 30 seconds, the bell started to ring furiously, rattling against you eardrums with utmost determination. You didn’t know if you were supposed to be agitated by the fact that it was hurting your ears or that it was faster than your 1 bit wi-fi. But nonetheless, you took action to go out yourself and tell them to stop ringing the earsplitting bling bling bell.

Just as you opened the door, you saw a flat black fabric right in front of your face. And more than expectedly, it made you stumble back with an impromptu shriek and hit your ankle on the bottle of coke that you mindlessly had thrown and never decided to pick up. And progressively, enabling you with a definite smack on your hips as you fell. 

It was not like you’d fallen down with poise, your hair sashaying amongst the artificial air and hitting softly onto your skin as you dropped on your back with a graceful ‘ouch’. No, it was the opposite. In the middle of grasping for gravitational support, you had tried to regain your posture and idiotically twisted your ankle in the process. Then came the anticipated injure to your hips with a loud thud and demonic scream.

Preposterous.

Fun fact was, it was not only your scream that was menacing but also the high pitched squawk of the guy that stood before you.

So much for dreaming big.

“Oh my god! Are you okay?” The guy, or so you say, man came beside you only to see you pathetically holding onto your ankle, writhing in a pain that was acutely terminal and getting your face tangled with your own hair. It was only then when you lifted up your head and looked at him through your black knotted locks that you realized he looked insanely familiar. And good-looking.

But his stupid looks was the last of your concerns.

“Are you okay?” he asked again, this time helping you remove the hair from your face as he searched for your eyes. But the scenery wasn’t what you’d expected at all. You’d expect the handsome guy proficiently unraveling your hair with ‘sha la la la’ music playing in the background and you’d look into each-other’s eyes and find sparks flying in your veins.

Ha. Ha.

No.

For someone trying to be helpful, he wasn’t even doing a good job. Instead of a sensual music, all that played in your mind was ‘sad romance’ and all that sparked was ultimate irritation. And you could swear the nerves you’re feeling at the moment was stronger than any ‘romance’ you could feel. You scoffed and demanded him to back off with the most aggressive tone you could manage. You could feel his hands jump back and sitting back to his knee that he’s folded in the meantime.

You released your ankle, enduring the sharp pain that came from your leg and moved your hair out of your face. Then, you looked at him in the eye, noticing exactly how handsome he was. He was almost the depiction of the second lead of your favorite anime that you’d binge watched in four days. He had onyx eyes and lashes that even temperament girls like you would be jealous of. A total vampire-like pale skin and stupidly sharp nose along with a hydrated pair of lips. Key word, hydrated.

“What do you want?” you spat at him, genuinely annoyed and embarrassed by the fact that you, so pitifully and slowly fell down in front of him and even managed to injure both your ankle and hipbones.

“Oh, oh, me? I am a big BIG fan yours. You are the main character of my favorite tv series.” He spoke, entwining his hands in a loving manner, eyes twinkling and white-sheet face lighting with an uncanny attentiveness. He wore a signature smile on his face, one of a fangirl gushing over their idols on tv.

But it looked as fake as his act of being a helping hand.  And you were terrified.

“And – What?!?”

“You might not believe this but trust me you are my favorite character.”

And now, you’re trying your best to restrain the laugh that tickled your stomach like powder in the nose. You, who’d lived all their years in languorous ways, dodging their responsibilities and dreaming big only in your sleep, was an idol in his eyes. It made no sense to you nor your animated sub-conscious humor, and that, was frightening.

And after that, all his joking demeanor vanished into thin air. He came closer to you, with a serious look in his eyes as he spoke.

“I’m Lee Know. I know how it ends, and I am here to change it.”

You were so sure that you really were dreaming big.

Blue Star | Oikawa x Reader | Ch. 2

cr- Pairing: Oikawa Tooru x Reader

- Word Count: ~ 2600

- Genres: Fluff, angst, Ushijima doesn’t know what a meme is

- CW: Mild swearing, and sexual implications/content 

- Summary: Sometimes, (Y/N) wonders if it was hard for her father to send her away. To a new prefecture, a new home, a new school. It all just might be worth it when after becoming the (suspiciously knowledgeable) manager of the Aoba Johsai boys’ volleyball club, she meets Oikawa Tooru. Together, they do their best to exorcise demons they thought would never leave. They learn about progress, when to strive for it, and when to accept the realities that cannot be changed.

Chapters: First | Previous | Next (coming soon!)

“Then what character would Oikawa be?” Iwaizumi asked.

“I’d be Togami!”

“Shut up, you’re not hot enough to be Togami.”

Oikawa looked at (Y/N), horrified. He nudged Iwaizumi to the side, forcing the

shorter boy to share half his desk chair. Bracing his forearms on the desk, he asked, “(Y/N)-chan, that’s what you like? The nerdy asshole type is what gets you?”

“Byakuya is a fine anime boy, change my mind,” (Y/N) said, crossing her arms.

“That doesn’t answer my question!”

Iwaizumi nodded along, “Yeah, that’s fair.”

“Iwa-chan!”

“Oikawa, gives me strong Monobear vibes,” she added.

“I see it,” Iwaizumi agreed.

As the classroom filled up, (Y/N) was getting more and more uneasy. Lately, Oikawa hung around her and Iwaizumi’s desks to chat and hang out before class started. During lunch, the three of them sat in the classroom together and watched anime on (Y/N)’s phone. Ya girl had Runchykroll Premium like a bad bitch, she doesn’t go with the standard membership. She doesn’t speak broke.

Today, though, it felt like people kept looking at her. She was used to getting side-eye at her old school, but it was weird to be getting it at a new school where she hadn’t done anything to draw attention to herself. At least, as far as she knew.

She noticed some girls off to her left openly staring at her, she raised a questioning eyebrow, to which they quickly turned away and frantically whispered among themselves.

“I, uh,” (Y/N) mumbled, “I’m gonna go pee.”

“Have fun,” Iwaizumi deadpanned.

“Uh huh.”

(Y/N) got up out of her seat, uncomfortably aware of the eyes watching her every move. Even walking down the hallway, groups of students stopped their conversations to gawk at her.

When she finally made it to the bathroom, she let out a soft sigh of relief.

‘Well, that was weird,’ she thought.

She turned the sink to its coldest setting, leaning forward to splash some on her face. Behind her, she heard the bathroom door open behind her, though she thought nothing of it.

Straightening up, she saw three girls in the mirror, glaring back at her. The four of them stared at each other for a bit, waiting for the other to say something.

‘Dammit, I’m in a kdrama and I’m a poor laundry girl and these are my bullies and I’m gonna have to get with some rich asshole with a bad perm,’ (Y/N) wanted to cry in frustration.

Just one day. Couldn’t she get just one day where people minded their own business instead of getting all up in hers?

(Y/N) turned around to face the group, faking a smile and moving to shuffle past them. The bigger girl on the side shoved her backwards, making her stumble a little.

“What’s your problem?” she asked, annoyed.

“What’s your relationship with Oikawa-san?” the one on the left demanded.

‘Oh boy, I really am in a kdrama. Or a teen movie. Do I have to be the Lindsay Lohan of this movie? Wait, no, I wanna be Regina George. Wait, shit, she gets hit by a bus. Ooh, actually, maybe I do wanna be Regina George.’

“Nonexistent, I guess?” (Y/N) shrugged, “I’m gonna go.”

“Not so fast!” the one in the middle said. She seemed to be the leader, with natural-looking dyed red hair, though you could see the brown roots beginning to grow out. Trifling Bitch had a slim figure, and stood taller than (Y/N) herself.

“We’re not done talking to you,” Bad Dyejob Regina George glowered.

(Y/N) rolled her eyes. After everything that happened at her old school, her bullshit tolerance had gone up. The thing was, she was getting her first weeks of peace in a long time, and she’d be damned if she loses it because of Oikawa and his fangirls.

She pursed her lips, “Yeah, well, I’m done talking to you, so I’m gonna walk out of here, and you’re gonna make it easy for me to leave.”

Making her way towards the door, she maintained eye contact with the giantess on the right, daring her to touch her again.

“Don’t think you and Oikawa-san are on the same level just because he took the train home with you,” Annoying Beanpole called after her.

‘How would she--?’ the train is usually empty around the time she and Oikawa are on it, ‘Except…’ She remembered those two girls wearing the same uniform as her. Glances were typical, when she was with Oikawa, but in hindsight, those two were looking over much more than the average fangirl.

‘Of fucking course.’

“We’re just here to warn you that you’re not worth his time,” Completely Irrelevant finished, smiling as if she’d won.

“Whatever makes your life better, girlfriend,” (Y/N) dismissed.

Getting-On-Her-Last-Nerve put her hands on her hips, “I’m serious! Stay away from Oikawa-san, or else!”

(Y/N) rolled her eyes, “I’m shaking.”

With that, she shoved past them and stalked through the door.

No way. No way she was doing this again. Things had gotten so bad at her old school, she got shipped off into the next prefecture just so she could make it through the year. There was no way in hell that she’d go through that again so she can hang out with Oikawa.

Whenever she had the time, she could study with Wakatoshi, or she could spend time with Iwaizumi when Oikawa wasn’t around. Either way, she wasn’t about to sacrifice her peace for anyone. Not even him.

Sliding back into her seat, she caught the tail end of their conversation, “--can’t today. My grandmother has grocery shopping to do, and I always go with her.”

“You’re everyone’s dream grandson, aren’t you, Iwa-chan?” Oikawa turned to her, “Come get food with me after practice?”

After what just happened in the bathroom, (Y/N) was inclined to say no, but those big doe eyes and enthusiastic smile were making it difficult.

‘Crap. You’re gonna make me fall for you, and you won’t even feel sorry for it, will you?’

“You’re not coming, Hajime?”

The tanned boy shook his head, “Not today. My grandmother needs me to carry the groceries.”

“M’kay, we can get breakfast in the morning, if you’re free?” she offered.

The two boys in front of her gave their agreements.

“But you’ll still get food with me today, right?”

“We’re already getting breakfast in the morning, why do you--”

“But I’m craving milkshakes now,” he whined.

(Y/N) frowned, “I thought you were lactose intolerant?”

“I am, but I’m not a weak bitch. Also, ever heard of lactose pills?”

Iwaizumi facepalmed. (Y/N) sighed, wondering how she ended up associated with this type of person.

‘Oh my god, I can’t believe this boy,’ she thought. Then she remembered that little exchange in the bathroom, and how those three girls were completely happy ordering her around. Backing down, acting like she never met Oikawa, it would be easy on her, sure. She stole a glance at him and his big, dumb smile and his stupid brown curls. (Y/N) thought about how nice it was to have him and Iwaizumi as friends and how happy going home from school with Oikawa made her.

‘Fuck it. Fuck you and your mean girl stereotype and the fact that you think you can order me around. I know what my own personal hell looks like. I’ve been there. So now? I’m going to do whatever I want, whether you like it or not.’

“Alright, fine,” she sighed while Oikawa cheered in victory.

“I hope you know what you’re getting into with him,” Iwaizumi said.

(Y/N) sighed, “I hope so too.”

~~

“Wouldn’t Hajime look good with a nose piercing?” (Y/N) asked absentmindedly.

Oikawa took a long sip of his milkshake, leaning back in the booth.

“Yes, but you know what would look even better? A lip piercing.”

(Y/N) gaped at him, “I’d be gone. That would kill me.”

“Tell me about it. I’m handsome and everything, but dear god, Iwa-chan is something else.”

“I get why you have a fanclub, but why the hell doesn’t Hajime have one? That boy is a work of art. And he uses those arms to help his grandmother! Tell me that’s not prime boyfriend material!”

“No doubt, no doubt. Maybe it’s because I’m flashier than he is? I mean, I interact with my fans. When girls come up to Iwa-chan, he just thanks them and leaves.”

“F’s in the chat.”

“F.”

Considering she had just moved to Miyagi, she didn’t know any good hang out spots. The diner Oikawa brought her to was very American 50’s style with its neon signs and leather booths. It was cute. She never saw anything like this back home. But despite how fun it was just hanging out with Oikawa like this, the conversation from earlier still lingered in (Y/N)’s mind. Curiosity having gotten the better of her, she asked him,

“Do you know a redhead girl? Tall, greenish eyes, hangs out with two other girls, one of which looks like she could snap your neck with one hand?”

“Sounds like Tachibana Akari. Why? Are they bothering you?” Oikawa asked seriously.

(Y/N) waved her hands in front of her.

“No, no, nothing like that. I just… I dunno, I was curious.”

He quirked an eyebrow, “I feel like you’re lying to me.”

“Good, because I am,” (Y/N) sighed, “Do I have to tell you?”

“I can’t make you do anything, obviously, but I’m your friend, and it’d be nice if you opened up to me about these things.”

The shorter girl gave him a dirty look, “That was weirdly honest.”

Oikawa shrugged, “Well?”

(Y/N) stirred her milkshake, “They’re just being kinda petty, is all. Your fangirls get

a little possessive, is all.”

(Y/N) tried to act like it wasn’t a big deal. The whole thing with what's-her-face

itself wasn’t, but if hanging out with Oikawa was gonna get her bullied, (Y/N) was having a hard time deciding if it was worth it.

“Yeah, they get like that sometimes. They mean well, it’s just...” he trailed off.

“Bitches be cray?” she offered. Oikawa nearly choked on his drink. His clenched fist came up towards his mouth, trying to stifle his giggles.

‘Ugh, he’s adorable. Gross.’

“Maybe a little… But they’re not gonna do anything to you. I think.”

“You think?”

“Yes, (Y/N), I think. I’m not a mind reader.”

“Whatever.” (Y/N) swatted at the hand creeping towards her fries, “It’s not a big deal. I was just curious, I guess-- Hey, fuck off, you have your own fries.”

“You got curly fries! How are you not gonna share?”

“Come near my fries again, and I will end you,” she threatened. The glare in her eyes gave Oikawa a clear warning that she was not playing around. This bitch will end you if you come near them fries.

The teens stared at each other intensely, the look in their eyes challenging the other. For Oikawa, two things could happen if he goes for the fries.

One, she ends his ass and he can have curly fries in the afterlife. (Y/N) goes to jail for his murder, but the jury finds out her motive and they say, ‘Oh yeah, that’s fair,’ and she ends up with 3 months community service instead.

Two, his prayers are answered and she soft enough for him by now and lets him take them.

Honestly, even he wasn’t going to take those odds. He settled down and picked at his own regular fries.

“This is just my opinion, but if I were you, I’d do the opposite of what they want me to do.”

“So you think I should hang out with you more?” she asked.

Oikawa waved a fry around as he spoke, “Yeah. Out of spite.” He took one of her fries while she was distracted, “But it also shows that you don’t care about what they want you to do.”

(Y/N) rolled her eyes, “That’s what you’d do cause you’re a petty bitch.”

“Yeah, but maybe petty’s the way to go.”

She stopped to think about it for a moment. When she transferred to Seijoh, she planned to let any kind of drama roll off her back, like Wakatoshi advised her to. The problem was, that just wasn’t her.

Oikawa started talking about some dumb thing Makki and Mattsun did that got them in trouble with the captain. (Y/N) hardly noticed as she watched those soft lips move around his words. Did he use a lip scrub? He totally would. That boy probably bought the latest Cactha one, preordered.

‘You know what? Maybe I will do the opposite of what they want me to do. Stay away from him? So I’ll…’

Before common sense could kick in, she shoved their food to the side. While Oikawa was busy being confused, she grabbed him by his Aoba Johsai VBC jacket and yanked him towards her.

Just inches away from him, she asked, “Yes or no?”

Oikawa wished he could have recovered from his confusion sooner, but all he could really do was nod his head yes.

She tilted her head, leaned forward, and pressed her lips to his. They were just as soft as they looked.

The tall boy sighed into the kiss. He was just about to cup her cheek before she pulled away out of breath. At the loss of her lips, Oikawa whined in displeasure.

(Y/N) stopped halfway out of her seat, “Did you just whine?”

“No?”

She smirked evilly, “Oh, this will be fun.”

Oikawa found himself being dragged by the wrist out the door. When he invited (Y/N) out, he wasn’t expecting this outcome, but damn if he wasn’t grateful.

“My parents are out of town on an overnight trip,” he said simply. The girl in front of him nodded, getting the hint.

Once inside his house, (Y/N) was on him again. She threw her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply. Long fingers dug into her hips to keep him grounded. Eventually, though, he had to pull back for air.

“So,” he panted, “Is this how you’re getting back at Tachibana?”

She tugged at the hem of his shirt, urging him to take it off, “Yep. Is that okay with you?”

“Uh, yeah,” he slipped his fingers under her shirt, “Maybe a little more than okay.”

Oikawa sat her down on the bed. As he loomed above her, (Y/N) snickered.

“Cute,” she said sarcastically.

The much bigger boy above her yelped as she slammed him down on his bed. (Y/N) straddled his hips. Her smaller hands ran over the outline of his abs.

Oikawa looked like he wanted to protest. His large hands gripped her thighs.

“Please,” he whispered.

(Y/N) put her hand to her chin and pretended to think.

“Hmm. Please what?”

He looked stressed, “Please, (Y/N)-chan?”

She smiled, “Since you asked so nicely, I’ll allow it.”

Unbuttoning her already horribly rumpled shirt, she sat against the headboard and spread her legs. Oikawa all but lunged at her, his curly brown locks disappearing under her uniform skirt. Her hands found purchase in those locks and he had to clamp her inner thighs with his strong hands to keep her from crushing his skull.

“Oikaw-- Ahhh!” she squealed when he made contact. He smirked against her center. One elegant finger looped around her panties.

“Can I take these off?” he asked.

(Y/N) glared down at him over the one hand covering her mouth.

“Yes!”

“Alright, alright,” he giggled, “Itadakimasu~”

God, he was fucking insufferable.

IkeVamp Arthur/MC -- A Fan of Holmes?

Hello, this is my first time writing a fanfiction on Tumblr. I used to write on Wattpad, but it has been a long time since I have done any writing. So, please, go easy on me. If there is anything you want me to write for you, please let me know, my ask box is open! Thank you!

Pairing: Arthur/MC

Fandom: Ikemen Vampire

Warning: Slight mention of suicide

It was my first night in the manor, and I was - in all honesty- very shaken up. Not only was I staying in the same vicinity as some of the greatest men of all time, but they were vampires. It was, at least to my logical mind, unfathomable. It felt like I was stuck, lost wandering in the middle of a fantastical, surreal, uncanny dream. As someone coming from the twenty-first century, my manners, posture, and act in general, were not the most prim or proper. I had the tongue of an internet troll and a true meme lord. However, this type of peculiarity was most definitely not fit for a lady in the nineteenth century. Especially not a lady in the presence of a handful of extremely influential men in all of the world’s history. I would definitely need to up my act. It goes without saying that I didn’t get much sleep that night.          The next morning, after speaking with M. Le Comte, I made my way to the kitchen to break my fast and to begin my work. When I arrived, I cut a few slices of bread and put them on a frying pan atop the stove, and began cooking them while brewing a bit of coffee for myself. By the time the coffee was done, the bread had finished toasting and was ready to be buttered and eaten. I added some cream and sugar to the beverage and sat down at the table, my mind still on the same topics as the previous night. However,  I suppose I failed to realize how strong the smell of brewing coffee can be, or the extreme sense of smell of my fellow residents. I only realized this, though, when Arthur came waltzing into the kitchen. He adorned his usual trousers and a white dress shirt, that had the top few buttons left undone, exposing his upper chest.          “Oh! Good morning, Sir Arthur!” I greeted. In all honesty, at that moment, I was nervous. I was alone with a vampire- a species I still wasn’t very knowledgeable of. Due to this rush of anxiety, the fact that said vampires were historical figures had completely slipped my mind.          “Good morning, MC. I hope you slept well, and you can drop the ‘sir’, we are all friends here, are we not?” The blue-haired man responded with a sly smile. The thought of the residents being friends to me, rather than foes, was quite relaxing, and I felt my muscles lose their tension.          “Of course, Arthur. I slept alright, I suppose, thank you for asking. And you?”          “I slept just fine. You are still wrapping your mind around the whole vampire thing, yes? Or is it who we are - or were?” he asked as he helped himself to some of the coffee I brewed. Arthur’s question had completely thrown me off, it was as if he had read my mind. I wasn’t sure how he did it, then it hit me. This man, that I was having a completely average conversation with, was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Arthur Conan Doyle, and I froze. It was like my mind froze for a moment, before I snapped out of it. When I realized that I had zoned out, I noticed Arthur leaning on the counter, and smirking at me.          “You’ve hit the nail on the head, that is exactly what I was thinking about,” I admitted. Arthur’s smirk only grew. “But, on that topic, assuming that everything I’ve been told is the truth, then you are the real Arthur Conan Doyle?” I questioned.          “Do you know another?” He replied smugly. I was at a loss for a moment. Hearing it from one person is one thing, having my suspicions confirmed by the person of topic is a whole other thing. It was astonishing to be speaking to the real, authentic Arthur. The entirety of my being was torn in two in that moment. The first half wanted to play it cool, as if talking to the greatest mystery novelist of all time was no big deal, and something to be done with nonchalance. Contrarily, the second half of me wanted to get his autograph. Though the first half of me fought a hard battle, my inner fangirl won, and it was too late for my stubborn mind to turn back.          “Wait right there, Arthur! I will be right back!” I shouted as I ran out of the kitchen, through the halls, and finally, into my room. I tore open my bag and began to dig around. After the longest thirty seconds of my life, my hand had grasped a certain book. The Complete Collection of Sherlock Holmes. In my other hand was grasped a black marker. After grabbing my selected items, I pivoted my heel and dashed back to the kitchen, hoping that Arthur would still be there waiting for me. As I skidded to a halt in the doorway, I spotted Arthur. He had moved not an inch from his spot, still sitting there sipping away at his coffee. He laid his mug onto the counter and looked toward me, amused, as I caught my breath. The moment that I had regained the ability to breathe yet again, I held out both my arms, with the book and marker, and shouted, “Arthur! Please sign my copy of Sherlock Holmes!” He was taken aback, and stuttered for a moment, before gripping the book and opening to the inside cover. He uncapped the marker and signed his name. He handed it back to me, chuckling.          “I wouldn’t have guessed that you were a fan of that bloody Holmes, MC.” Arthur teased.          “How could I not be a fan?!” I exclaimed. “These stories have gotten me through some of the worst times of my life! They’ve gotten me out of several bad situations! Hell, I probably would have offed myself ages ago if it weren’t for these stories!” Arthur stared wide-eyed at my outburst for a second or two before a forlorn and melancholy expression passed over his face.          “Those old stories really helped you all that much? You must be joking, they can’t save anybody. they never have.” Arthur murmured to himself, but I heard it.          “Arthur? I don’t know what you’re talking about, but in my time, your stories have helped so many people. There’s Sherlock themed everything! People love those stories, and they help lots of people every day.” I told him. Arthur held a bewildered expression in his eyes, and tried to play it off as if he had not said a word.          “Hmm? Whatever are you talking about, MC? I didn’t say anything!” He said jovially. Though, I could tell it was a mask. However, I decided to play along for now.          “Oh, you didn’t. I apologize, I thought you did.” I joked. The two of us spoke for a little while longer, until he said something that made my heart leap.          “I am working on a new Holmes story, since you are a fan of Holmes, how would you like to be the first to read it, hmm?” His offer had me beaming!          “Oh, Arthur! I would love to! Thank you!” I expressed my gratitude by wrapping him in my arms, in a tight hug. I suppose it was safe to say that I had made a friend in the mansion, and a genius author and detective is always a good friend to have!

    Xoxo, RenzaMarie

My 2020 reviews

All the cool kids were doing these so now I finally dragged my ass into doing them too lmao. 

Albania- Fall from the Sky

A song I swear cursed this whole contest from the moment it won Festivali i Këngës. Like with the shitshow this song caused I just knew the whole year was fucked. With half the fandom whining they didn’t get their first club song of the year to the other half smugly shoving it as their winner despite no other songs being around to compare it to, the whole fiasco just left me knowing that 2020 would end in tears, just hopefully not my own. As for the song, it’s lame. It’s a standard ballad with OBSCENE amounts of autotune, which is weird because the girl can actually sing pretty decently without it, so why they decided to make her sound like a damn computer is beyond me. And WHY did they translate it, haven't the past few years proven that Albania's better off leaving their songs in Albanian? 

Armenia- Chains on You

A bootleg Ariana Grande song, and a really shit one at that. The kind of song only people who think being young, gay and mean counts as having a personality would say is good.

Australia- Don’t Break Me

One of the few decent Australian entries (but that REALLY isn’t saying much coming from me, I barely care they’re in the contest by this point) but marred by a horribly untidy performance and lacklustre lyrics. At least it’s not fucking pop-opera, that’s all I can say. I’d rather listen to the sound of my face being dragged down the runway at Heathrow airport than be subjected to another Zero Gravity.

Austria- Alive

One of those pseudo-jazz dance songs, á la Olly Murs or Bruno Mars (I swear there’s a song like this in every recent contest). I mean, it’s good, but it’s just kinda meh since I’m kinda getting tired of this genre rearing its fedora-wearing head every time a new lineup rolls in.

Azerbaijan- Cleopatra

One of the “better” trashy entries this year, comprised of about five different musical genres, six ancient cultures being appropriated and absolutely zero class. Probably sounds at least 50% better when you’re absolutely steaming drunk and face down on the floor in the middle of a gay bar.

Belarus- Da Vidna

Somehow, this song sounds both very unique and original yet trite and average at the same time. I couldn’t decide whether listening to it was a new experience or if I’d heard it a million times before.

Belgium- Release Me

A song which just drones on till it ends. I would say it’s ripping off the song that won last year, but it forgot that having a chorus stops your song from being three minutes of snooze.

Bulgaria- Tears Getting Sober

A typical breathy mumble-girl song, AKA a genre I can’t fucking stand. Really don’t see the hype with this one, the melody is pretty but the vocals are out for lunch and it’s otherwise completely and utterly boring.

Croatia- Divlji Vjetre

One of the token big dramatic ballads you listen to once, enjoy, then forget about until Darius in the Discord server plays it one night whilst you’re hitting up the radio bot with requests. You’ll find that “nice, but forgettable” is a common theme for this year.

Cyprus- Running

Ironically Cyprus didn’t send a crappy Fuego knockoff for 2020, and I say ironically because a crappy Fuego knockoff would’ve actually stood out this year, and I say crappy because honestly Fuego wasn’t even all that great to begin with. "Running” itself is just one of those edgy tortured soul pop songs which, let’s be honest, would have been paired with an impressive performance which would’ve overshadowed how bland it is. Kind of like “You’re the Only One”. Or even Fuego for that matter.

Czech Republic- Kemama

Standard Afro-pop, a genre we don't often see at the contest so I'll let it pass. I feel like this is the kind of song that’s infinitely better live, and that it would’ve been one of those songs that suddenly became a frontrunner after the semi finals, but I guess we’ll never know eh?

Denmark- Yes 

The quintessential mid-10s Eurovision song. It's got guitars, happy people, Scandinavian origins… it’s just a typical radio guitar song, nothing special.

Estonia- What Love Is

I mean it's better than La Forza. Granted, the sound of someone pissing directly onto a microphone installed in the bowl of a toilet would sound better than La Forza but still. Going back to this song, it’s just... a standard Eastern-ballad with some very desperate lyrics. It feels kind of outdated, if I’m honest. Like something about this just reeks of 2011.

Finland- Looking Back

Yet another dreary, forgettable ballad. It comes to something when the best song they COULD have sent was a party song which sounded like it was from the mid 90s. At least that song was memorable. That said, this one at least has some decent lyrics. Bravo for that I guess.

France- Mon Alliée

France decides to say “fuck it” to being an underground fan-favourite and takes a leaf out of the UKs book by sending the same rent-a-Swede schlock they’ve been sending since 2015. I’m just confused as to why anyone in their right mind would choose to follow the UKs example but you do you France.

Germany- Violent Thing

A rehash of Sweden's entry from two years ago, but this time sung by Justin Bieber circa 2008. Kind of alright if you can stomach the singer's whiny voice, but otherwise pretty dull and kinda forgettable.

Greece- Superg!rl

Hello fellow kidz, we are hearing you like the girl power? The super heroes? The t3xt $p3ech? We made you song, please give us the votes *dabs*

Georgia- Take me as I Am

I mean… this sure is a choice. This feels like one of those songs that everyone memes on because the lyrics are kinda janky and the singer’s voice (and accent) take a bit of getting used to, but other than that it’s just one of those NQ songs for hipster fans to declare as their unironic winner at a later date. All in all this just feels like the male equivalent of one of those mid-10s fat acceptance women’s songs, only a lot shoutier and this time he has more flaws than not being skinny.

Iceland- Think About Things 

A bootleg George Ezra song, performed by a load of disinterested tumblr users in their pyjamas. Because if there’s one thing that sells me on a song, it’s being given the evils by a bunch of nerds who look like they’ll send me death threats for not agreeing with their Pokémon headcanons. To be fair, the song is kind of groovy since it sounds so 70s, but the performance is very off-putting to people who aren’t in the Eurovision loop. And also people who are, because I sure as Hell don’t see the appeal in this myself and this whole performance just feels like Save Your Kisses for Me without the charm. I feel like this would’ve come second or third, definitely with a lot of televotes but either the jury would’ve dragged it down or it wouldn’t have scored enough televotes to win.

Ireland- Story of my Life

A song that’s at LEAST ten years out of date by this point, think like an early Katy Perry, Jessie J or Avril Lavigne song. I’ll forgive it because even though it sounds like it should’ve been entered in 2013 (at the latest), it at least evokes some nostalgic memories of shitty school discos and holiday parks.

Israel- Feker Libi

The female equivalent of the Czech song. Unsurprisingly, people went wild for it when it was released. I guess only women are allowed to sing Afro-pop at this contest. Like with the Czech song, I’ll forgive it since Afro-pop is a cool genre anyway, and even though this is just another club song I can at least see myself dancing to it.

Italy- Fai Rumore

Well, at least my wish of “Italy sends a typical power ballad devoid of anything the mainstream fandom likes” finally came true. It was pretty refreshing to have a year where people weren’t shoving Italy’s entry up my nose left right and centre. In terms of my actual thoughts I can’t deny that the guy has a tremendous voice, but for some reason the song just doesn’t… click with me. I guess I like my male Italian singers a little more gruff and raspy, if you know what I mean. They gotta sound like they smoke at LEAST five packets of cigarettes a day for me to take notice.

Malta- All of my Love

Listen I am 100% rooting for Destiny Chukunyere to win this contest some day but man was this song a disappointment. It feels so… un-special and generic, like it gets the job done and that’s it. It’s not the stand-up-and-belt-it-out soul anthem I’d hoped for, it’s just… there.

Moldova- Prison

All I remember about this song is that it vaguely reminds me of that one Meccano song about the gypsy who makes a deal with the moon or something. And I’ve TRIED to remember more about what it sounds like, trust me.

Latvia- Still Breathing

The one horrible weird song you get every year which overuses strobe effects to the point it comes with an epilepsy warning. Would be bearable if it wasn't for the singer’s insistence that this is actually some feminist masterpiece when it's really just a self-empowerment club song about the singer fingerbanging herself over the fact she writes music.

Lithuania- On Fire

One of the songs everyone thought was going to win at one point, even though it seems like a surefire non-qualifier to me. It’s one of those weird entries, but not the kind of over the top, batshit insane, you’d-have-to-be-drunk-to-enjoy-it weird, the kind of subdued surreal weird. Like this is weed instead of LSD or cocaine weird. Granted my mom, who I consider to be a "typical" Eurofan, actually really liked this song when she saw it in the recaps, so who knows maybe this would have done well with televoters after all.

Netherlands- Grow

I appreciate this song for how artsy and clever it is with its structure, since it starts off acapella and the instrumental builds up with the song until it stops suddenly, symbolising a person’s growth from a child into an adult, and ending suddenly with their death (Geddit? The song’s called “Grow”). But it feels like the kind of song that would be lost on a Eurovision audience. The juries would have taken note, for sure, but the televote… let’s be honest, they’d have been too busy drunk voting for Russia to care about anything else.

North Macedonia- You

Well, it's better than the miserable dirge they sent last year, but given how I'd rather pleasure myself with a steak knife than listen to that song, that really isn't saying much. Going back to “You”, it really just feels like a diet version of Switzerland’s entry from last year, combined with Sweden’s song from 2018. What I’m saying is it’s your average “I’m a man in a club and I want to dance with and probably fuck this hot girl I just met” song, which I a new genre I just made up. You’re welcome.

Norway- Attention 

One of those songs you appreciate because it sounds nice and the singer has a good voice, but instantly forget because it’s really not all that interesting. If I sound like I'm repeating myself, welcome to Eurovision 2020.

Poland- Empires

“Rise Like a Phoenix” but sung by a wannabe Adele and not a mascara-wearing Jesus in a dress. Like a lot of other songs on this list, it’s just average across the board, likeable when it’s on, but instantly forgettable as soon as the next song comes on.

Portugal: Medo de Sentir

Pretty, but also similar to their ill-fated 2018 entry, only with a bit more energy and less pink hair. What I’m saying is this would have been another NQ unless the crowd who enjoy subtle ambience music come in to save it like they did with Slovenia's entry last year.

Romania- Alcohol You

See Bulgaria, because this is practically the same song. It’s just as dreary, just as badly sung (if not worse because holy shit this girl sounds like she’s being suffocated), and I suppose you COULD excuse that by saying she’s drunk or hungover… but I don’t want to listen to someone ungracefully mumble into a microphone for three minutes.

Russia- Uno

A classic big camp party song, the kind of song people who haven’t watched Eurovision since 2003 think wins on the regular. I can see why people would like it (especially in this boring year lmao, I applaud Russia for taking the opportunity to loosen their corset and just send a complete mess instead of their usual clinical vote grabs), but it’s just not something I enjoy. It's the song that plays into the misconception that Eurovision is just a clown show for drunk people, like this is just here to be that one flash-in-the-pan meme song that only entertains people who don’t really care about Eurovision until the day before it airs. Kind of like the old ladies they sent in 2012 (remember them?).

San Marino- Freaky!

San Marino, in true Sammarinese fashion, have yet again sent a decade-ambiguous song which sounds like it was either released in 1978 or 2003. I feel like this would have been one of those songs which could have surprised us if it had a really wacky, creative performance (think like Moldova in 2018), but this is San Marino so you know that would never happen.

Serbia- Hasta la Vista

Insert unoriginal joke about a decade wanting their shitty trend back right here. Okay maybe that’s a bit harsh, especially considering how this song is actually, yanno, unique in comparison to the rest of this year. But it still feels weirdly dated, in a way where I can’t decide whether it sounds like it belongs in 1998 or 2018. I suppose girl power ages a song regardless of when it was released.

Slovenia- Voda

Yet another standard Balkan-European power ballad which you appreciate because it’s well sung, but forget the moment it ends because it’s kinda boring. … Does anyone else have a bit of deja vu?

Spain- Universo

For some reason I feel like this song is shilling itself out to someone but I have no idea who. Aside from the horny people voting solely because the singer is moderately attractive even with that wretched Jedward haircut.

Sweden- Move

Imagine soul but… boring.

Switzerland- Répondez Moi

Imagine Arcade but… in French.

United Kingdom- My last Breath

Not the best the UK could have done, but it’s at least a modern offering unlike the residual dregs of the mid-90s that we sent throughout the 2010s. It’s definitely a bit too generic to have done any better than maybe 15th, but hey at least the cancellation means we won’t have to see it not do as well as the BBC thinks it’s entitled to do, prompting a billion clickbait articles about how Brexit somehow affected our performance.

Ukraine- Solovey

At long last we come to something you probably weren't expecting: a song I actually really like. Which is weird because I usually don't care for or don't like whatever Ukraine vomits into the contest, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a song I liked from them in such a weak year. This song isn’t for everyone, it’s white noise singing which is a very acquired taste, but this is honestly the only 2020 song I find myself coming back to over and over. And it’s in Ukrainian too, so you don’t have to put up with their usual mangled English offerings.

#and that conclude's the mods thoughts lmao #eurovision #if this is good i might do this with other years let me know what you think #mod speaks #mod reviews

[all-hail-the-witcher]

cats the movie was created by the mafia and here's why

so since one (1) person said that they still wanna hear this theory imma post it

first, the reviews of cats are so mixed, it's confusing. im not even sure if everyone is talking about the same movie. lets look at some of the more wild ones:

but then i found these two:

both of these reviews (the second one especially) explicitly mention celebrities, which, made me think of a conspiracy theory

i once watched a video (i think it was a shane dawson one) where he discussed how people believe that it could be a possibility that the government uses celebrities and their scandals to distract the population from their wrongdoing and general mishaps. that being said, lets unpack what we know about cats:

-cats themselves (as in the animal) are generally very cute and people find them funny. it is commonly perceived by some that the internet - youtube specifically - is “that place with the cat videos” and people are very entertained by them (think about tik toks, twitter and tumblr threads, vines, and ig accounts) and even interact with cats if they happen to be allergic to them. it is safe to say that the human population has somewhat of an obsession with cats. 

-cats the musical is generally misunderstood by a lot of people. i have never actually seen it but from what i understand its a musical about cats competing to see who will die and theres one good song (memory). the internet has gone about about “what the heck is cats even about” for many years before the movie came out in the form of memes and other random internet jokes.

and now lets address the us government. right now most people agree that its plenty shitty for various reasons. even people in other countries Dont Get It. (im not going to get too into it because chances are if you have an internet connection you've heard about the shit the us government has done recently)

now. onto the movie itself. (hang onto your hats this is where it gets wild)

according to google, cats is a british american film. it is a well known fact that america was originally colonized by the british and we gained our freedom in 1776 (i really hope thats not news to you) but the war didnt end until the british surrendered at yorktown in 1781 and the treaty of paris wasn't signed until 1783. the british were notoriously salty afterwards, continuing to pirate american ships and do other generally annoying things which resulted in the war of 1812. it was not until after the war of 1812 (which officially ended in 1815) that the british recognized america was independent and actually started respecting them. britain and america were also allies and have famously teamed up to stop people from taking over the world (ie ww2 amongst others).

youre probably wondering what the hell this has to do with cats. stick with mw, we’re getting there.

in the weeks after the 2016 election, there were many memes circulating the internet along the lines of this:

needless to say, it was a wild time for america. 

now, admittedly, britain was Also in the midst of their own wild time because of brexit, but somehow the election results managed to kind of overshadow that (at least in america). 

so lets review some Important Dates:

-june 23, 2016 -> brexit is proposed

-november 8, 2016 -> 2016 election

-march 2017-> britain formally announces leaving the eu

additionally, in 2016 the worlds biggest superpowers were (in order) the us, russia, china, india, and the uk.

now, onto my theory.

the mafia has always notoriously been trying to be stopped by the government for their crime and is a strange organization with a lot of money. the mafia Does still exist although mostly in new england. since 2016 there has been a disconnect between the government and the people due to the staggering amounts that do not support the current president. the mafia may have seen this as an opportunity to overthrow the current government/president and cabinet and place their own person there so that they wouldn't get as much shit from the government. 

this theory does get a little bit complicated regarding the presidents suspected ties to the mafia. however, the mafia is very powerful and i have no doubt that they could have somehow blackmailed trump or implemented false records in order to depict the president falsely. or they could have tricked the president into working with them in order to gain secrets to help them overthrow him. the possibilities are endless. 

so in the time between the 2016 election and when britain formally announced leaving the eu, the mafia probably had some time to scheme a little, thinking up possible ways for them to overthrow the government. 

after britain announced leaving the eu, someone in the government must have realized that it was making britain widely unpopular and they should do something to clean up their image. so they take a peek around and happen to notice that america is royally fucked cause of the president and there are people threatening to move to canada cause of it.

but why is any of this of importance to britain?

well, britain used to be the top world superpower before ww2, but then were beat out by america both after the war and when they announced nsc 68, a plan to make amerias military stronger and provide aid to american allies being threatened by communism. although britain and america stayed allies, it is likely that britain may have been a bit salty about this. and, if they could somehow get rid of trump and weaken the country this may bump the us from the lead world superpower and (if they were lucky) also russia and china who the president was more or less involved with.

low and behold who has the same desires? the mafia.

so the mafia and britain team up to defeat the us government. but how will they do it?

my friends, that is where cats comes in. 

as stated, the government has previously used celebrity scandals to cover up and distract from their own. the mafia and britain would not have wanted to make this seem like anything out of the ordinary, so they decided to implement this form of distraction, but twisted it into grotesque exposure. but they needed a vehicle in which to use this

if you refer to my information on cats from before, american people love cats and cats the musical is a somewhat loved classic that makes little to no sense. additionally, theater fans have recently been calling for screen filmed shows so they dont have to spend lots of money on tickets (see newsies live and bandstand) so in order to pass this off as normal they chose to use cats.

howmst ever, they needed to make the american people not like cats anymore so that they wouldn't be easily distracted by them. how to accomplish this? make the cats in the movie cgi celebrities. 

the celebrity lineup of the movie is quite impressive, containing the following:

james corden, judi dench, jason derulo, idris elba, jennifer husdon, ian mckellan, taylor swift, and rebel wilson. 

these celebrities were all chosen for the type of audience they would draw in so that it would be as vast as possible. (old people, young people, middle aged people, etc).

the mafia paid these celebrities handsomely and coerced them into being in the movie. 

now, lets discuss the timeline. 

the movie itself premiered on december 20th and the mafia and britain would have begun creating it as soon as march of 2017. scripts take up to 12 weeks to write, putting them at june of 2017. pre production takes 10 weeks, putting them at about halfway through september 2017. it takes about an average of 10 weeks to film, putting them at december 2017. and, according to pixar, animating a movie can take between 4 and 7 years, however, the reviews have stated that cats only took about a year to animate the movie, putting it at about december 2018. this would give the mafia about 7 extra months for any needed editing or fixing between when they could have hypothetically started and ended the movie itself because the trailer came out in july of 2019.

they would have wanted to release the movie just before 2020 because that is when the next election takes place and they would need everyone to be immune to propaganda. 

the mafia and britain creating cats explains a lot of things such as:

-why james corden has not gone to see the movie

-why the animation is so horrifying

-why the movie was made in such little time

-why the celebrities in the movie are actually in the movie

-why the budget was able to be so large if it was an epic flop

-peoples general confusion as to why the movie was even made

see, they would have known that even if not a lot of people saw the movie, it would have made headlines just because of how bad it is, terrifying people of both the celebrities in it (remember this includes james corden, a prominent talk show host and taylor swift, one of the top song writers) and of cats themselves.

in conclusion, cats was filmed by the mafia and great britain in an attempt to overthrow the us government.

be careful who you vote for in 2020.

a brand new one eyed ripper masterpost!

“ira you already made one just update-” bold of you to assume i have energy to do that (also because it’s been a while, making a new one to show up in the search might bring in more fans of shitoo)

general content/trigger warnings: murder (if not obvious), kidnapping, stalker behavior, and other things you might expect from a yandere themed series

synopsis: The protagonist, Mebuki Meme, had a peaceful everyday life. A dear friend, and a dear brother, she held them closely. However, that mundane peacefulness came to an abrupt end.

character intros

Mebuki Meme

Height: 156cm (5′1″) Birthday: 6/17 (June 17th) A second year in high school.

She lives together with her young stepbrother, Akihiro. She has a bright personality, but she’s not quite capable of thinking too deeply on things. She possesses a “let’s forget about bad things!” mindset.  However, she is burdened by concerns towards her brothers distrust in humans, as well as his sister complex (an extreme attachment to his sister, aka her), as she has a strong caring side to her. As a result, she worsens his sister complex without realizing it. She constantly pokes fun at Haruhiko’s idiocy, but she herself isn’t much better.

With the One Eyed Ripper murder case, she learns the truth about human nature, and falls into despair.

Tabako Haruhiko

Height: 182cm (5′10″) [if the img size difference doesnt show how big this boy is......] Birthday: 3/18 (March 18th) A second year in high school, however, he’s assumed to be older than Meme as he’s had to repeat year(s) (?)

A young man with a green muffler and a very distinct height. He’s in the same class as Meme, and has been friends with her since the start of high school. He looks like a disruptive delinquent, but that’s not really the case. He doesn’t skip class, but his test scores and grades aren’t the best. While he’s not in any clubs, he possess great reflexes. He has a strange sense of justice, and is the type of person to consider his friends. He’s worried about the hardships of his friend since middle school, Chifuyu. He also sympathizes with the sense of responsibility towards Meme’s younger brother. His hobby is teasing other people. It’s inevitable that he has fun teasing Meme.

In Meme’s words, “He’s a big mischevious kid.” In Chifuyu’s words, “He’s a rare chattering moron.” Well, it’s scary to make light of a moron.

Mebuki Akihiro

Height: 152cm (4′10″) Birthday: 9/9 (September 9th) A first year in high school.

A boy with distinctive freckles and heterochromia. He’s Meme’s younger brother, and possesses an extreme sister complex. As you’d expect from his short and slim appearance, he lacks physical strength. It looks like he wasn’t the type to play outside when he was younger, and he’s bad at working out.   He has extreme distrust towards anyone who isn’t Meme. Especially towards Haruhiko, who he doesn’t hide his disgust for. It doesn’t look like he has anyone he’d call a friend, nor does he want one. After becoming Meme’s stepbrother, they had first met during middle school. Essentially, even though they’ve been family for a short time, from the very beginning, he’s never felt any distrust towards Meme. Rather, it seems he already trusted her. Even though Meme herself thinks it’s strange, he won’t explain his reasons.

To no surprise, he thinks “in this world, I don’t need anything besides big sis.”

Minowa Chifuyu

Height: 162cm (5′3) Birthday: 11/18 (November 18th) A second year in high school.

Even though he wears an eye patch over his left eye, he’s a pretty average looking boy. He’s in the same class as Meme, and he, Meme, and Haruhiko are often with each other. He has excellent grades, is the vice president of the student counsel, and is an outgoing person. Furthermore, he’s the head of his household. He’s the legitimate heir of the Minowa family, which has lived in his town for a very long time. At school, however, the formalities that come with it are almost unnoticeable. In front of Meme and Haruhiko, he’s bright, smart, and sarcastic, and he enjoys teasing the both of them and riling them up. It’s said there’s not a single day where either of them could win against his teasing. His philosophical views he’s acquired from wherever often causes Meme to think, “Chifuyu’s pretty mature, huh?” 

He has a soft expression that’s rarely seen towards others, but it can be seen when he’s with Haruhiko and Meme. From the bottom of my heart, I treasure those two. What’s tormenting me so much, is my own intelligence. Surely you can understand.

songs

pretty much all of the one eyed ripper songs have translations from various sources! the most accurate ones will be on the vocaloidlyrics wikia, but for basic listening, CC on youtube will also be good! (most of the time, lyrics from there are reprinted onto CC anyway, so don’t worry too much.) here’s the songs in release order:

one eyed ripper murder case

considered the very first song in the plot chronologically (as of right now), as well as start off for the series, this song details the span of the murder case from start to “finish”. go ahead and listen to it before reading up on the other songs if you want a total “no spoiler” experience.

one eye’s confession

the second song for the series to release, this one focuses much on haruhiko’s character and his developing feelings towards meme. not much to be said! but personally, this is my favorite song in the series

monop’s confession

the third, and currently most recent song to be uploaded for this series! this one focuses on akihiro’s character, as well as provides an “alternate timeline” within the series at the end of the pv. 

that being said, please do not rush shitoo to make more songs. i have no idea if they plan on it in the first place! they’re busy with the game and stuff already. if you want more content, however, there’s also mangas as well as the official twitter, which uploads development on the game as well as rt’ing fanart!

[daphuu]

10-15! :D

I had to get out my laptop for this, and you wouldn’t believe the absolute brainfart I had just now. I couldn’t remember my email OR my password. Thankfully I managed to remember my password, change my password, change my email, and log in after like fifteen minutes of fiddling. ANYWAY!

10. What song sums up this year for you? Rainbow Connection. Yeah, the Kermit song. Yep. I’ve been introspective asf this year. I’ve always had big dreams: Write a book! Publish! Make money! But lately I’ve been thinking about love, of all things. I’ve never considered myself much of a romantic--sure, I’ve had my share of romantic relationships in the past, but they weren’t life-shattering or world-altering, you know? I think I’m ready to settle down and start my next adventure with a life partner. I just don’t even know where to begin!! Starting a family and a life in a forever-home is hard when I have troubles connecting my brain and heart. Anyway, yeah: Rainbow Connection. I’m ready for my next adventure, I’m ready for something new and amazing, and I’m being as optimistic as I can about it this year. Yeah. Oof, rambling. Anyway!

11. What album came out and has been on heavy rotation since then? I’m going to have to go with the Frozen 2 soundtrack, tbh. Oof. I’ve just been listening to it so much! I can’t stop! I relate so hard to “Into the Unknown,” and I, too, feel ready to fling myself into some unknown adventure for various reasons. Honestly? I just love the Frozen 2 music!

12. What was your favorite movie of the year? There were so many good ones this year! How could you ask me this question?!? The biggest problem with trying to answer this question is that I see an average of one new movie a week at the theater. Yep, you read that correctly! I have an ongoing Sunday brunch-date with my dad that has been a tradition since I was in high school. Every Sunday (or close to it--we miss around 6-9 Sundays a year, but that’s still 43-46 new movies per year) we go out to lunch and see a movie together. Sometimes we’ll do a back-to-back feature where we watch one movie and then immediately go into another (we buy our tickets, of course; we aren’t animals) and sometimes we miss weekends (weddings, events, sickness, work, etc.) but we try to maintain this tradition as best we can! I’ve kept every movie stub from when we started this tradition, and I’ve kept them all in various baggies and safes and whatnot. I’m pretty sure I’ve lost some during moves, but they aren’t the important part, you know? I just like keeping up with my dad like this.

But that didn’t answer your question! I’m not sure I can. Off the top of my head I think of Knives Out and Ready or Not, but those just happen to be the last two movies I’ve watched with my mother! AHHH! Honestly, though, I’ve watched both of them at least twice now, and I plan on seeing Knives Out with my dad again soon. We might make this weekend one where we see a new movie and then go see Knives Out again if the movie sucks. xD

13. Did an actor/actress catch your attention for the first time this year? YES! Okay, I’ve seen plenty of movies with frickin’ Idris Elba in it, but I’ve never really noticed him. He was just some random actor to me for the longest time, but then he did the bad guy in freakin’ Hobbs & Shaw and I suddenly and intensely noticed him. He’s??? He’s like kinda attractive? I didn’t know what to do. I was looking up images of him and movies with him in it and freaking out about him? Yeah. He just took me by surprise, I guess. I don’t normally find myself looking at male actors with such enthusiasm, so let that be a testament to how weirdly and absurdly attractive this man is. What the heck. Why. Can you not mess with my poor ace brain? It h u r t s. HAHA

14. Favorite new TV show? Oooooof. Good Omens was hnnnnng~~~! I enjoyed that one waaaay too much. I’ve been a long time Terry Pratchett fan, and seeing the adapted show on Prime was enough to make me cry. Then I watched them, and that made me cry, too. I don’t watch the actual telly much, so I hope this counts!!! I don’t watch shows much, either. My life revolves around Achievement Hunter, fanfics, and anime, tbh. I work a bit on the side. pfffffft

15. Which new ship/fandom has taken over a lot of your time, attention, and tears? FCUKING THIS ONE?! Fucking heck, so--sO! I wasn’t really a part of the FAHC fandom until this year. I’ve been reading like harry potter fanfics and stuff since I was in middle school and watching/enjoying AH videos (including gta) for a few years, too, but it took my friend sending me a link to some AO3 FAHC fic for me to get hooked into this actual fandom. A fan I’ve been, a member I’ve not. Here I am! HELLO! I’ve been reading the most amazing things in this fandom, too. Fuck, I love it here. I truly do. I rarely come across something that isn’t good on its own, you know? Like I’ve read some truly Fucked Up Fics in this fandom because duh, but I’ve read some fics so beautiful and sweet or heartbreaking and angsty that I’ve cried, I’ve read some fics so outrageously funny or subtly hilarious that one time I nearly vomited from laughing too hard, don’t @ me I’ve laughed, and I’ve read some HELLA long fics that were like 500k but only took me a few days to read because I may have called in sick falsely one day couldn’t bring myself to put this shit down, yo. Like? Y’know? Those fics that are just too good what the fuck can you not absolutely amazing and don’t let you focus on anything else SO ACHIEVEMENT HUNTER (specifically Fake AH Crew) FANDOM FTW

omg i’m so sorry this turned out so long aHHHH I rambled a lot anyway hi hello thanks for asking, friend!!! <3 <3

[elysiumwaits]

Dee enables my meme/ask game/text post game habit. @novemberhush - you’re the best, thanks for the tag!

Nicknames: I go by Eli/Ely these days (pronounced the same!). I have many aliases: Charlie, Peanut, Em, Changeling, Griffon, and in the group chat “To Whom It May Aggravate”. (These are not necessarily aliases - just different names for different circles all meaning the same me). 

Zodiac: Pisces Sun, Pisces Moon... my astrology-inclined friend looked at my chart and went “Oh my god, no wonder you’re so... you.”

Height: 5'3

Hogwarts House: Slytherin (occasionally placed into Ravenclaw)

Last thing Googled: Uh. “How to find google search history.” But before that it was “Michael Yo wikipedia.” Cause I watched his comedy special and wanted his filmography.

Earworm: "Remedy” by Seether - somehow along the way I missed how much they sound like Nirvana and Alice in Chains, which are two of my favorite bands ever and I am routinely upset that I will never see them live. But also “Killin’ It” by Foxy Shazam.

Favourite musicians: Of all time? Gee. Here’s a long list.

Nirvana (they got me through high school, I have a tattoo of “All Apologies”)

Alice in Chains (Layne Staley’s voice is haunting when isolated). 

Khalid (I love every single song he has out so far)

Post Malone (my brother’s love has carried over to me - “Hollywood Dreams” is amazing and his latest album is so good)

Motley Crue (childhood favorite)

Fall Out Boy (listen, if you were in middle school or up in 2005 

One Direction (and their solo careers - I had a Liam Payne cutout for a year or two)

Eric Church (he has that old country vibe I like)

Waylon Jennings (my personal outlaw country fav)

Johnny Cash (one of my grandfather’s favorites)

Don Williams (memories - I can see my grandparents waltzing to his records in their living room)

Seven Mary Three (they were so good, “Water’s Edge” and “Headstrong” are my jams)

Namie Amuro (my current/all-time fav Jpop. I’m not caught up on recent Japanese radio hits though)

NeedToBreathe (listen, Rivers in the Wasteland is gospel, but like... I heard it on repeat and saw God, alright, just not at all in the way that they intended, and it’s on the list for those memories alone)

Hozier (I saw God to him too, but in the way Hozier actually intended)

SZA (my brother loves her and I love everything she’s released)

Following: 317

Followers: 164

Do I get asks: Usually a couple a week! I like to reblog memes. I have a box full of prompts right now I need to do.

Amount of sleep: Average? Like 1-3 hours a night. Recently I got put on a new medication that’s keeping me asleep for 6-7 hours and I feel a ton better, but I’m a chronic insomniac, so I don’t sleep a lot. For example - it’s almost 1 am and I have to be up at 8. I’m a big fan of caffeine.

Lucky Number: I don’t really have one. I’d say maybe 3? It’s the most reliable number for me.

What I’m wearing: Giant pink tie-dye shirt, black leggings in a size too big and covered in white/gray cat hair, glasses.

Dream Trip: Alaska, for the landscapes and midnight sun.

Instruments you play: I mean. My parents paid for guitar and piano. I can play songs on both of those things. If I have warning, like a week, and notes/chords in front of me. My brother got all the musical talent - he can play like four instruments, and he does that thing where he can hear a song on the radio and play it. He never does it with like a guitar or piano, though - he whips out his silver fucking trumpet that cost more than our monthly mortgage payments.

Languages you speak: English is my native tongue, I can speak survival Spanish and read it halfway decently if I don’t have to do it quickly, and I can arguably speak Japanese, but I’m rusty and relearning a lot as I stopped having a conversation partner when my Obaachan passed away about 6 years ago.

Favourite Song: Oh shit, this is hard. Changes with the weather. “All Apologies” by Nirvana is a big one, but “She Talks to Angels” by the Black Crowes is probably vying for the top position. I also love Green Day’s “Basket Case” and Imagine Dragons’ “Polaroid” though.

Random fact about me: The first game I ever beat to a 100% completion was Sly Cooper: Band of Thieves. It would have been Spyro, but the PS1 memory card didn’t work in my PS2 and there was a power surge one night while I was asleep and the damn thing turned off.

Cats or Dogs: Both. Both are good. 

Aesthetic: Grunge baby, but not in the trendy way. I’m a grunge baby in that way where an associate follows me around Macy’s, and once a very nice woman in Portland dropped her spare change into the white chocolate mocha I had just taken the lid off of after drinking about half.

Tagging people who might like this, disregard if you don’t! No pressure! @kiti-the-warrior-poet @sophaoat @sky-and-sometimes-others @artsake-dreams @icarusthriving @midnightwinterhawk

via Politics – FiveThirtyEight

We started off the 2020 cycle with an informal heuristic: While many long shots would run for president, we would focus our coverage on candidates who had previously held elected office; others would have to earn enough media attention to prove they should be taken seriously. When businessman Andrew Yang, a political rookie, launched his presidential campaign with a New York Times profile in February 2018, he didn’t meet our standard for coverage. But Yang now looks likely to qualify for the Democratic primary debates this summer, so here is our belated take on the strengths and weaknesses of his candidacy.

Though just 44 years old, Yang has already built an impressive résumé in the private sector: After graduating from law school and founding a failed tech startup, he became CEO of an $11 million test-prep company that was acquired by Kaplan and founded the nonprofit Venture for America, which trains college graduates interested in working for startups. But the centerpiece of his campaign is a universal basic income. To counteract the effects of job automation — which he calls the “greatest technological and economic shift in human history” — Yang is proposing that the government give $1,000 per month to every American over the age of 18. He says this “Freedom Dividend,” which would be funded in part by a value-added tax on corporations, would make it easier for people to pay their bills and adapt to the changing economy.

Yang is the only 2020 candidate thus far to put a universal income front and center, and his campaign says it’s been key to attracting support. But it’s probably not a strong enough issue to propel Yang to victory on its own. A Gallup poll from 2017 found the concept to be divisive — 48 percent supported a universal basic income, while 52 percent opposed it. Support was higher (65 percent) among Democrats, but not overwhelmingly so. That said, if Yang does indeed make the debate stage, he could succeed in making the issue a part of the national conversation.

So how might Yang expand his coalition to win? Here’s how he fares by the same “five corners” theory of the Democratic primary electorate that we’ve used to evaluate other candidates:

We’d expect Yang to get a good deal of support from The Left; most Americans think providing a universal income is a socialist position (though it has conservative adherents as well), and Yang has taken progressive views on a host of other issues. But he may not speak the language of The Left: He’s frank in saying “I’m a capitalist,” and his campaign manager, Zach Graumann, says that the campaign doesn’t subscribe to the “capitalist/socialist dichotomy.”

Yang’s strongest constituencies might be Millennials and Hispanic and Asian voters. Yang has a strong following on Reddit and his fans have been producing hundreds of memes there and on Twitter, both platforms whose user base skews younger. And should he win, Yang would be the first Asian-American president.1 Unfortunately for Yang, Asian voters are only about 5 percent of the Democratic primary electorate. Graumann told FiveThirtyEight that the campaign is aware of its potential to make history and believes it can improve Asian-American participation in the political process (the group’s turnout rate is usually quite low), but that Yang’s Asian identity is not currently a big part of his campaign or rhetoric.

Party Loyalists will likely be Yang’s weakest constituency. He is clearly running an outsider’s campaign, although Graumann says Yang is “not in it to blow up the system.” Still, Yang is one of the few candidates with no endorsements from the Democratic political establishment so far. One constituency that might be in his corner, though, is the tech establishment. But this will probably help more with scaring up money than with scaring up votes. The campaign claims Yang has already reached 65,000 unique donors, which is one of the thresholds for qualifying for the first two debates. And Graumann says the campaign has raised about $950,000 in February and the first half of March, which would be solid for a House or Senate candidate, but it probably won’t cut it for president, especially if Yang doesn’t plan to self-fund his campaign, which Graumann says is the case.

Yang faces other challenges as well. His polling numbers remain low: His best performance in any poll in FiveThirtyEight’s database has been 1 percent. Still, that’s partly because not a lot of voters have heard of him, and low name recognition at this point in the cycle is not necessarily fatal for a campaign. But even among Democrats who know enough about him to form an opinion, Yang’s favorable ratings aren’t anything to write home about. In four national polls taken so far this year, Yang’s net favorability rating (favorable rating minus unfavorable rating) among Democrats has averaged +6 points. And he’s actually underwater in the crucial early state of Iowa.

Andrew Yang is neither popular nor well-known

State and national polls of Andrew Yang’s favorable and unfavorable ratings among Democrats so far this year

National polls Pollster Dates Favorable Unfavorable Net Fav. YouGov March 10-12 20 8% +12% Morning Consult March 8-10 11 10 +1 HarrisX March 8-9 19 8 +11 Monmouth Jan. 25-27 10 10 0 Average 15 9 6 Iowa Pollster Dates Favorable Unfavorable Net Fav. Selzer & Co. March 3-6 7 12% -5% California Pollster Dates Favorable Unfavorable Net Fav. Change Research Feb. 9-11 5 2% +3%

This could reflect the possibility that, in the age of President Trump, Democrats don’t want to nominate a businessman of their own; other wealthy Democrats like former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and entrepreneur Tom Steyer had similarly middling net favorability ratings before they decided not to run. And overall, it’s extremely difficult historically to win a presidential nomination if you haven’t held elected office before.

Because of his lack of political experience, narrow coalition and niche platform, Yang remains a long shot for the Democratic nomination. But we can no longer say with confidence that he is any more of a long shot than several other candidates. That’s an accomplishment in and of itself. And just as Sen. Bernie Sanders did with policy proposals like “Medicare for All” and free college in 2016, Yang could accomplish something even by losing: He may yet succeed at bringing the universal basic income into the Democratic mainstream.

Finals!AU Monsta X

Literally nobody asked but our struggle with finals brought us here. 

how Monsta X deals with the stress of finals and their study habit

jooheon

spent 3 hrs making the perfect study playlist for finals, skips every song

makes changkyun study with him cause "he can't study alone or he'll fall asleep" and changkyun knows that it won’t end well cause they'll just end up f*cking around but he always comes anyways

hyunwoo looking at their tomfoolery: my boys... no... study…

kihyun: f*cking study you headasses jooheon you need a 98 to get a B

jooheon is that guy that has so many friends in all his classes that he has multiple study groups for every class so he ends up wasting time studying the same thing with different groups

he doesn't procrastinate much but he does take.. absurdly long breaks...

his definition of a break is visiting the study room next door for "a couple of minutes"

jihoon once he sees jooheon waving outside the window of svt's study room: "oh no we're not gonna get anything done"

jihoon as he sees jackson spotting jooheon and they walk to svt's room together: "f*UCK NO I NEED TO GRADUATE"

but jooheon means well! he just loves spending time with his friends and studying feels lonely....

Through the force of exam anxiety he managed to cram and write up good cheat sheet the night before

somehow managed to get the professor to round his B- to a B

changkyun

carries three (3) tumblers with him: one with woTAh, one with coffee, and one with red bull

we don't talk about that semester minhyuk somehow convinced changkyun to mix his coffee and red bull...

he ended up in the ER and he's still trying to pay off his hospital bills... slowly...

kihyun: why the f*ck did u trick the baby you know he's stupid

minhyuk: kihyun… at this point… it's natural selection

aNYWAYS changkyun is very auditory is his learning!

he tries to record his lectures and he'll listen to them. that's his "studying"

has a hard time memorizing… can barely remember his functions and laws and equations

general bio?? yeah he barely passed, made kihyun tutor him the whole semester and kissed ki on the cheek when he passed with a C-

he makes little songs to memorize his equations and it's honestly so cute... wonho had to pinch a cheek

ran out of practice problems to do cause he loves doing them

he and jooheon fool around a lot but he's the level one out of the two and he will sit both his and jooheon's ass down when the time comes for it

gets good grades on his finals! baby deserved it uwu

hyungwon

out of all the 7, he's secretly the most diligent

one of those people who pretends that they don’t study much to act cool but secretly is working very hard on his grades

reviews his notes after every lecture so by finals week he has a good grasp of the concepts

sharp enough to fill the blanks in himself

so yeah he's set he just needs to review

one time hyunwoo meant well and booked the monstas a study room

hyungwon was napping on his notes, citing something about "studying by osmosis"

always makes sure to get a full 10 hours before every exam

everyone else: running on 2 hrs of sleep, hair messy, eyebags, rumpled clothes

hyungwon awake with his outfit picked out, skin glowing and hair gelled: :)

he'll help jookyun the babies with reviewing. he's the friend that you ask to quiz you over concept cause he's brutally honest on when you get it right/wrong 

aces all his exams, but it doesn't even matter cause he only needed a 75 to get an A

kIHYUN

is insanely ambitious, is taking 8 classes and he has 5 finals... rip..

has a study schedule set up by 30 mins increments

do not even bREATHE wrong in his direction during finals week or he will cut you

color codes his notes according to subjects, has flashcards, 3d models for ochem...

goes to every single review session that almost always ends up being useless cause he already knew everything

you need his notes? well maybe if u asked before finals week he'd consider it..

when he's not trying to not kill himself he's trying to make sure his friends are alive cause minhyuk... is that pepsi you're having for breakfast???

mh: yeah... what did u have for breakfast?

ki: uh... nothing??

mh: well i'm already doing better than you, buddy

but seriously he tries to take care of everyone when he himself is a mess.... secretly carries a toothbrush just in case he'll 'accidentally' sleep in the library

during exam day he made sure to have everything he needs

unexpectedly in the middle of the exam his eraser fell and rolled into a gap between the rows in front of him

he was already close to crying

yoongi, concerned, slides his eraser to the table between them

ends up with an A, brags to the monstas about how they should follow his habits

hyungwon: bit*h where

minhyuk

king of procrastination? yes

you thought you were bad? you don’t have anything on lee minhyuk

downloads one of those game-blocking apps on his pc & laptop to block games during finals…plays games on his phone anyways...

loUD. never stops talking in the study room

is the reason the study room next to theirs always knocks on the wall to get them to shut the f*ck up

minhyuk: don’t worry i'll talk to them! :D

"they were my friends! omg i haven’t talked to yoonho in forever wait hyungwon do you remem-"

when the monstas finally got him to stfu he looked so serious looking at his laptop and writing things down the monstas were shook™ 

he was just drawing one piece fan art

is that kid who write inspirational cute things like “you’ll do great” or “grades don’t define you” on the library whiteboards or behind a bathroom stall

showed up to the wrong building on his final because the building abbreviations were similar

doesn't even flinch and walks in leisurely 20 mins late

somehow did decent??? life is unfair

wonho

lives in the campus coffee shop!

cause it's warm and cozy and it smells nice! and of course aesthetics™ 

barista seungcheol seeing wonho every morning when they open: oh you're here again??? :o

wonho: yeah!! :D

but it's cute they eventually become friends and wonho gets free refills

when u thought... the :D smile couldn’t get any cuter... the corners lifted up even more…  how could seungcheol resist the :3

his finals are mostly practicals and oral exams so he doesn't hit the books in the general sense

brings a bunch of papers anyways and takes aesthetic study pictures even though everyone who actually knows him know it's a lie

is the type to rewrite his notes cause they’re not ‘pretty’ enough and ends up wasting time

hey he's doing it for his other followers ok... they don't know how soft n meme he is yet...

he's really good at his practicals and he has the materials down but somehow struggles with the presentation aspect of his oral exams :((

he stutters a lot and he gets nervous... so it seems like he doesn't know what to do when!! he actually!! knows his stuff!!

so he gets shownu and kihyun to help

wonho: uhh.. next.. you would u-uh.. probe the... i forgot!! I can’t do this i’m sorry!!!

kihyun: no!!! ur doing so well!! come on!!

shownu: yes

practiced a lot and aced everything! buys lunch for the crew cause he's so happy...

shownu

is a TA alongside being a grad student!

grad students still have finals! hyunwoo has 2 finals, a paper, and a project presentation so he’s bUSY

but he cares for his students a lot.. is the only TA who actually bothers prepping for his exam reviews (where he unknowingly gives hints)...

student jinyoung: so is this exact example gonna be on the final?

shownu, sweating nervously: uh,, uhh... no?

his official office hours are 3 hours a week but he always makes time for his students!! he always tries to stay in his office a lot in case they need help!!

hyunwoo loves his subject and he doesn’t want anyone who has interest in it to lose interest because a class is bad

keeps a healthy supply of kihyun’s cookies (kihyun stress bakes and it’s most apparent during finals) in case of a sad or stressed student

king of giving partial credit and everyone loves him for it

exams graded by shownu have an A- average

ends up caring too much and not paying enough attention to his own finals... 

loses a couple of hours of sleep but makes it in the end!!

gets a stunning TA review and a fat bonus

puts the bonus into good food… blissfully ignoring his thesis

HEADCANON: annona's two biggest projects !!

ANNONA & JOE (2004-2009).

A quirky kids show about a precocious ballerina (Annona) after she moves into a new house inhabited by a lonely ghost, Joe (originally played by a boy Annona’s age named Danny Joe Bradley), who starts to follow Annona around when he finds out she’s the only person on Earth who can see him.

The show started as an innocent, offbeat but light-hearted little sitcom, with one or two gallows humor jokes (usually related to existentialism) thrown into the season for the parents who are watching with their 6-year-olds. (Think EERIE, INDIANA if anyone has ever heard of that.) They originally never touched on the logistics of how Joe died or why Annona had the ability to see him.

Annona gained a lot of attention for doing her own dancing for her character. She was classically trained in ballet from 2002 until 2010.

It was a success with children, but it gained massive attention when someone popularized an internet fan theory that the character of Annona was schizophrenic. Suddenly everybody was watching the show through the lens of it being about a deeply disturbed girl who’s too mature to connect to anyone her own age, and the writers of the show decided to embrace that in the following seasons.

The show’s dark humor became less subtle in season 2, with more hints of Annona’s mental illnesses and existential crises. It was still marketed as a show for children and popular among the alleged target audience, but it was clear that it was being written for adults. By season 3, the show had become one huge allegory for SOLIPSISM. The controversy around the show only helped it become more popular. It was too big to cancel.

But while filming season 3, Danny Joe Bradley died while they were filming their Hannukah episode in a ski lodge in December 2008. (I’ll make a headcanon post about how he died if anyone is interested but I’m trying to keep this bio condensed!)

Because the show was too successful, the studio decided they needed to milk a full 4 seasons out of it, and so the role of Joe was recast.

The show ended on a high note. The boy they cast as Joe looked close enough that the child audience didn’t notice. But headlines and buzz about the dead actor who played a ghost turned the show into a cultural staple, and the recasting was the last piece of controversy it needed to go down in history.

7 years after it’s ended, people talk about about as much as they talk about shows like The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, but everyone who lived through the tabloid stories and urban legends surrounding the show will remember it whenever it’s mentioned to them. It has a tremendous cult following on the internet and at geek conventions, but it may be more of a distant memory to the average teenager, since it aired when these kids were about 5-10 years old.

But it’s still very popular among stoners who watch shows like Adventure Time and Courage the Cowardly Dog. It was and still is HUGE in Japan.

SPITTING IMAGE (2015).

A sundance darling psychological thriller that became an instant classic in the horror genre, akin to the likes of The VVitch, It Follows, The Babadook, Hereditary, and so on. Super atmospheric mystery movie about human cloning; big themes and ethical questions involving duality, replacement, artificiality, identity.

94% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Annona played the main character’s daughter, Dolly (maybe the clone of his dead wife? idk I’ll figure out the plot to this movie as we go), and there’s a big base of people who say she was snubbed for an Oscar nomination for her performance.

There’s a line in the movie that’s probably really well-acted and powerful in context, but it’s so dramatic and over the top that it became a meme for Youtube Poops and shitposts all over the internet. (Think Leonardo DiCaprio’s “MAL!!!!!! JESUS CHRIST!!!!!” wailing from Inception.) The iconic line is probably something like “HE’S DEAD, DOLL, DON’T DO IT!!!!!!!” and maybe the youths thought it was funny because of the alliteration. If you shout this quote at her she’s very likely to try to smack you. It’s been three years. She’s tired of hearing it.

She’s been in a lot of horror movies (both artsy and trashy) and made cameos in some tv shows but these are the two she’s most known for. She’s done a lot of quirky-weird-dark indie movies and a Hocus Pocus-esc halloween kids movie back in 2012. Her career slowed down after 2015 when she started to really spiral into depression. 

She’s not in the public eye too much anymore, and doesn’t frequently get noticed in public. But she’s become a kind of idol in Japan and has cult princess status in the horror movie fanbase.

her family’s credentials.

UNCLE: Grant McKean. Critically acclaimed director specializing in thriller movies. (think: Christopher Nolan logic/storylines meets David Lynch atmosphere!) He’s slowly turning into the next stereotypical film bro’s favorite director. Not quite Tarantino/Fincher level, but he’s getting there. MOTHER: Linda McKean Bright. vapid indie/arthouse director whose career never really took off. FATHER: Sam Bright. middle-aged actor who hasn’t been in anything widely successful since he was 22.

#i swear there'll be context to all of this and my last post when i put up her bio tonight but for now here's;;;;: this. :j #✕ ░ h e a d c a n o n. ░ #I'll say she's more of an obscure indie-tier celebrity? #really big deal to some circles (indie film buffs and horror fanatics) but she doesn't have to be recognized by everybody in NYC #it's possible that characters in the age group of growing up on her show wouldn't recognize her if they don't pay attention to pop culture #it would be like recognizing one of those kids from the naked brothers band. they might look familiar but they aged out of their baby faces #I always feel guilty playing this character in roleplays because I feel like celebrity muses are kind of spotlight hogs #but I feel like an NYC rp is perfect for that. Especially here because there are other kind of middle tier celebrity muses. :) #And speaking of those middle tier celebrities/actors/models --- I would love to plot with characters like Cece or Connor! #And Isabelle! Maybe she could be Annona's new ballet mentor since Annona has to train in dancing again for her show's reunion season? #and non celebrity muses too good golly please! #i'm off to dig up the old intro post i made for the last time i played this muse and then i'll be back here to plot and writing tonight! #(speaking of the last time i played annona. can you fellas believe i had to slap an s at the end of my own character's url #because @annonabright was apparently taken by some spam bot that pics up on url changes. #this url makes me look like a fanblog for my own fictional celebrity character. i feel preposterous. this would only happen to me.)
